[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.11-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: hostname

Hi,

the attached patch fixes (in my local rebuild.sh test environment) the
non-determinism in /usr/share/win32/gpgv.exe caused by varying build
hostname. Please have a look and let me know if you think it should be
implemented differently.

For the record, the hostname is captured in gpgv.exe since upstream
commit 049b3d9, whose message explains what the change is, but does
not make its rationale clear.

Thank you for maintaining GnuPG in Debian!

Cheers,

The hostname helps to triage bugs on Windows.  Sometimes we get bug
reports for GnuPG but it is not clear who build the binary version.  The
information allows an average user to quickly check this.

Although I doubt the value of reproducible builds for Windows; I just
pushed a fix which sets the hostname to "<anon>" by default.  In our
builds we will use --enable-build-timestamp which then inserts it again.


Shalom-Salam,

close 826309 2.1.13-1
thanks

the build hostname was fixed upstream in GnuPG commit
